Heck Sees Judicial Building as County's Top Need
Douglas County Commissioner Arthur Heck on Friday said a city county judicial building is the county's most pressing need. If both commissions agree, a bond election could be held this year, likely in August, with an estimated bond under 4 million dollars potentially replacing a prior plan of 5.64 million. The facility would sit east of the current jail, housing county judicial offices while city offices would include the police department and municipal court.
